🔥 Top Scoops in Louisville, KY

Louisville & Jefferson County Landbank has an Emergency Order Demolition planned at 1523 Dumesnil St., a vacant one-story former residence of about 2,051 sq ft, with work scheduled from 05/21/2026 to 06/22/2026. Because the building involves presumed friable asbestos-containing material, the order allows RACM to remain in place during demolition but requires Aesthetic Industrial Contracting, Inc. to minimize disturbance, keep materials wet, containerize and promptly dispose of debris at WM Outer Loop Landfill, and avoid tracked vehicles on demolition debris.

Jefferson County Public Schools (owner: Jefferson County School District Fin) has filed for an asbestos abatement at Shacklette Elementary School, 5310 Mercury Dr, to remove floor tile and associated adhesive mastic from Classroom 110 between 06/09/2026 and 07/31/2026. RH Environmental will perform the non-friable removal—using hand tools or an electric floor scraper with wet methods—then HEPA-vacuum and wet-mop the area; about 775 square feet of flooring/mastic will be bagged and disposed at WM - Outer Loop Landfill.

Matthew Farmer is removing large amounts of soil behind 945 Barret Ave, apparently lowering an elevated rear area to create a parking space, and neighbors say work has been going on for the third or fourth day. Code enforcement reports the brick alley is thickly caked in mud and unsafe for pedestrians (some cars are sliding), and the job requires a permit because the necessary retaining walls would be over 4 feet tall.
